Theme-2: Conservation of Water Bodies

Abstract: Mindless extraction and over exploitation of very small quantity of fresh water
resource has caused a rapid depletion and deterioration both in its quantity and quality. As per
the latest assessment of ground water resources, carried out jointly by Central Ground Board
(CGWB) and the State, the assessment units are categorized as overexploited or critical and
semi-critical based on the stage of ground water development and the long term water level
declining trend during the past decade. This calls for intiative to conserve water bodies. The
initiative gains immense importance in the sense that urban lakes or water bodies are first
victims of unbonization and their conservation or restoration is sign of healthy and sustainable
urban development Urbonization and/or industrialization of the lak cutchment in particular
have had its extreme adverse impact.

After exploring the content, the learner will be able to explain importance of conservation of
water bodies. This will help him/her to develop a positive attitude towards conservation
through case studies. The students shall be appreciating the interdependence of different
natural resource and their management as a whole.

Until the last drop dries

And the Mother Nature cries

I think we wont realize

Our precious water bodies price

The cries grow shrill

A glassful to drink will be a frill.

You say its polluted

You say its scare

But have we done for its care?

It will be the reason for fight and battles

It will be the reason for end of humans and cattle

That day is not far

When we are going to be the brink

What will remain is just

The formula H2O and the water bodies converted to a stink

Its never too late

And its not the matter of our face

Its high time now

Its the right time now

Lets save them lets save them lets save them

A young girl 8th standard was curious about going to her new class, the senior class-9. While
going through her text book of science she was surprised to see a topic Water-a wonder liquid

Out of curiosity she asked her science teacher why is it so that there is need to study such a
common and easy topic even in the senior class when they have already studied about it in the
lower classes. Her curiosity actually encouraged her teacher to discuss at length the most
debated topic over the world and plethora of tactics and conversions being adopted for the
sustainable use of water.

There started a class room discussion on need and importance of WATER, WATER BODIES and
their CONSERVATION.

Water is an abstract concept for some and a stark reality for others. It is a topic of
environmental, political, social, economical and cultural importance and relevance. Ismail
Serageldin the Vice President f the World Bank in 1995, rightly predicted in the next century
wars would be over water.

While nearly 70% of the world is covered by water and nearly 60% of the human body is made
of water, ironically, merely 0.0007% of plants water is available for its 6.8 billion people!!

In a developing country like India, which no doubt is blessed with many beautiful and pious
water bodies like river, streams, lakes and ponds----- CLEAN and POABLE WATER is either hard
to come by or a commodity that requires laborious work and significant investment. It is
projected that, the population under water stress will rise from 450 million at present to 2.7
billion by 2025 and Indian subcontinent is already being classified as water stressed i.e. our
water needs will far exceed its availability.

Water bodies: Inland Water resources of the country are classified as: rivers and canals;
reservoirs; tank; lakes & ponds; brackish water. The area of water bodies at all-India level has
been presented in the level has been presented in the table. Total water bodies other than rivers
and canals cover an area of about 7.3 Mha. Among these water bodies, reservoirs have
maximum area (2.93 Mha) Followed by tanks, lakes and ponds (2.43 Mha). The total area of
inland water resources (other than river and canals) is unevenly distributed over the States.

WHY DO WE FORGET THIS? All LIVING BEINGS NEED CLEAN WATER

Hence a CHALLENGE: How can we effectively conserve, manage, distribute and sustainably use
the various water resources available to us?

Water bodies have served various functions to meet the water requirement of the people for
drinking, Household, Irrigation, fishing, religious, culture and even recreational purposes. They
are the host to a variety of flora and fauna and are a landscape. In hydrological conditions like
droughts and floods they influence the micro, climate of the region.

Since water bodies are the life lines for all the living beings, it becomes our social and moral duty
to conserve them and contain further on. The present day environmental conditions like
population, drying up of water bodies, reduced water level, entrophication, silting and flooding
of water results of various anthropogenic activities like urbanization, sewage, agriculture and
industrial run off, to name a few. These factors are leading to the death of our life lines.

Some Facts and Figures Water: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)

The daily drinking water requirement per person is 2-4 litres, but it takes 2000 to 5000
litres of water to produce one persons daily food.
It takes 1000-3000 litres water to produce just one kilo of rice.
In 2010, the estimated number of undernourished people worldwide was 952 million.
Over the period to 2050 the worlds will have to support the agricultural system that will
feed and create livelihoods for an additional 2.7 billion people.
The extent of land irrigation in the worlds is 277 million hectares, about 20% of all
cropland. Rainfed agriculture is practiced on the remaining 80% of the arable land.
The intergovernmental panel on Climate Change predict that yield from rain-dependent
agriculture could be down by 50% by 2020.
Due to climate change, Himalayan snow and ice, which provide vast amounts of water for
agriculture in Asia, are expected to decline by 20% by 2030.
Irrigation Increases yields of most crops by 100 to 400 percent, and irrigated agriculture
currently contributes to 40% of the worlds food production.
Water use has been growing at more than the rate twice of population increase in the last
century.
By 2025, 1800 million people will be living in countries or regions with absolute water
scarcity, and two- thirds of the world population could be under stress conditions.

World Water Assessment Programme (WWAP)

Poor drainage and irrigation practices have led to water logging and Stalinization of
approximately 10% of the worlds irrigation lands.

 How the world uses freshwater: Irrigation-about 70%, Industry- about22%, Domestic use-
about 8%.

Seeing the present state of our water bodies, we have to conserve and restore the water bodies
and recycle waste water. Many programs have been launched by state and Central Government.
The programs for repair, Renovation (RRR) of water bodies with domestic and external
assistance have been set up the main objective to increase the availability of drinking water. The
adoption of stringent step will initiate the restoration of these water bodies. These steps will
help to alleviate the suffering the all living beings from this crises.

Role of Government and other authorities: The major role of the Government at local level is
to identify the local water bodies and notify them in their records. The water bodies like step
wells (Baolis), trenches around old forts, well as well as manmade water bodies like ponds
within temples, gurudwaras, mosques, parks, residential area and other such public places
should be declared as part of the green architecture of a city. Committees at all levels should be
set up, drawing members from all the concerned departments and the local residents for
maintaining the balanced conservation of water bodies. All stakeholders should allocate and
industrial uses besides other uses like gardening. A Storm Water Management Plan of each city
should be prepared and water bodies around should be prepared to receive storm water after it
is appropriately treated through various feasible techniques such as in a sedimentation basin
and/or constructed wetland (bio-treatment) approach etc. Awareness programmes should be
initiated at all the levels of society, through various be declared as eco-sensitive area and
dumping of any waste should be a punishable offence. Only treated effluent, as per effluent
standard should be allowed to be disposed in the water bodies.

Conservation of Water bodies important Schemes

National River Conservation Plan (NRCP): the objective of NRCP is to improve the water
quality of the rivers, which are the major water sources in the country, through implementation
of pollution abatement works, to the level of designated best use. The river conservation
programme in the country initiated with the lunching of the Ganga Action Plan (GAP) in 1985.
The Ganga Action Plan was expanded to cover other river under National River Conservation
Plan (NRGP) in the year 19995.

National Plan for Conservation of Aquatic Eco-Systems (NPCA): The National Wetlands
Conservation Programme (NWCP) and the National Lake Conservation Plan (NLCP) has been
merging into integrated scheme of National Plan for Conservation of Aquatic Eco-Systems
(NPCA). NPCA aims at conserving aquatic ecosystems (lakes and wetlands) Through
implementation of sustainable conservation plans, and governed with application of uniform
policy and guidelines. The scheme would contribute to reduction of pollution loads in lakes and

A Case Study

The news about Indias first River Lake Link project in Tikamgargh to save the water bodies of
the Chandelaera, drew irrigation potential for 1990 hectares of land.

Tikamgarh district is situated in the northern part of Madhya Pradesh. It is bound in the North
West by Jhansi and Lalitpur of Uttar Pradesh, in the east by the Chhatarpur district. River Dhasan
passes through it.

Tikamgargh is blessed with a large number of water bodies like wells, tube wells, tanks, dams
which are used for irrigation, fisheries, industrial and domestic purposes. The river network of
the region comprises of big and small river like Yamuna, Chambal, Betwa, Dhasea, Sindh and
ken Canals have been called out from most of these reservoirs for water supply. Two minor
dams are constructed on river Jamni and Dhasan.

More than 86% of net ground water availability has been utilized placing the district in a critical
condition.

Irrigation by Different Area (Km2)

Sources
Dug wells 762151235.74
Tube wells/Bore wells 195588.73
Tank/Ponds 276105.13
Canals 175134.80
Other sources 65.86

The above data indicates that the most of the agricultural land depends on wells for irrigation.

The average annual rainfall of the Tikamgargh district is about 1000mm which is certainly far
below the national average.

A large number of water bodies are still serving the purpose, but they are in various stages of
degradation due to human intervention. According to recent surveys, the quality of water is
deterorating in rural and urban area due to poor sanitation, run off fertilizer and improper
disposal of solid and liquid waste.

In ancient times also, People had realized the importance of managing water resources. Several
water harvestiong structures had been constructed in the past to ease the water situation. These
include Bundela tanks, step wells, village ponds, hawelibandies etc. Many of these structures are
currently in a stage of neglect and are no longer able to harvest water. Moreover, the water
quality is deteriorating day by day. The presence of nitrates, fluorides and cholera causing micro
organisms are confirmed by the concerned department. It has repeatedly been found that not
just physical infrastructure, but behavioral issues also need to be addressed for reuse of water
for domestic purposes although some coping mechanisms have emerged in the last few years
like reduced cropping of water-intensive crops, creation of farm bunds and mixed cropping.

A few suggestions made are maintenance and modernization of water bodies, ground water
development, quality of drinking water, participation in water management, research in science
and technology.

The district administration then decided to initiate programmes with government departments,
NGOs Wuas (Water User Association) and fishermen cooperative societies. The programme
involved public awareness activities in village such as celebration of World Wet lands day,
desalting, removal of water weeds, preventing soil run off, and preparation of compost pits.

There was an overwhelming response from the community in all the awareness and
conservation project works. Students from schools located in all rural area and NGOs
rejuvenated the village tanks by desiltation and deepening of the water bodies.

Our water resources, irregularly distributed in space and time, are under pressure due to major
population change and increased demand. Access to reliable data on the availability, quality and
quantity of water and its variability that we are looking at are very small steps to match the
demand and supply. All components of the hydrological cycle, and the influence of human
activities on it, need to be understood and quantifies in order to efficiently and sustainably
develop and protect our water resources.
